Saint Families Program
 
All students are assigned to a "School Family."  This family - name after a saint, contains one student from each grade TK - 8.  Each teacher has two school families assigned to their room.  The older buddies help their younger counterparts with reading, math, art and social skills and model appropriate Mass behavior by sitting with them during weekly student body masses.  Our younger students learn to model good reading and appropriate social skills, while older children learn patience and empathy, two critical aspects in social and adolescent development. School families gather for activities and to celebrate holidays and holy days approximately once per month.
